I would say go with the Nema 23 as this is what is stated in the build instructions. You might be able to get away with a higher torque 17 but I'm sure this was tested when they were designing the Whiteant printer/cnc machine. What board and drivers do they you using? Make sure your drivers can supply the right voltage to the motors or the Nema 23 will essentially be a Nema 17.
